Hi John,
Another approach to changing the CSS styling for this element is to do it with an extension. Extensions can be used for a lot of purposes, but one of these is the goal you are trying to accomplish (modifying styling of the UI). To do this, the extension introduces its own CSS file(s) to override the default styling of the targeted elements in the CA UI.
The advantages to doing this in an extension (versus modifying the CA CSS file directly on the server) are:
- Doesn't require access to the CA server
- Works for cloud as well as on-prem installations
- For a multiple app-server installation, it automatically gets applied to all app servers (and automatically to any future app servers added to the installation)
- Changes survive an upgrade of CA software version
I uploaded a sample of such an extension in an earlier post: - blurry.zip.
If you modify the blurry.css file in this extension you could replace the text-shadow override with the color override that you want, targeting the banner element.
